i am sandra smith. make sure you tune in. it will be a big address from the president tomorrow night. everything you need to see and hear will be right here on fox news channel. thanks for joining us. ♪ >> bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on tonight >> a few days ago, i called fake news the enemy of the people, and they are. they are the enemy of the people. >> bill: the brawl between the press and the president continues. but is it now harming the country? "talking points" with the for tonight. [cheers and applause] >> bill: organize protesters dropping political meetings. it is not un-american? or patriotic?

>> what is the greatest problem facing this country today? >> everybody complains too much. dispute: what are we going to do about these babies? with them into shape. make america tough again. >> bill: had cut must be watters down at the daytona 500. caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. ban teen right now. --dash "the factor" begins right now. hi, i am bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. war between president trump and the press. that is a subject of this evening "talking points" memo. critical mass has been reached as president trump is denying access to certain news organizations he believes are to get the president. also, and an act of defiance, the president announced he will not show up to this years white house correspondents dinner in april. he does, however, want everybody to have a good time. if this political controversy were a legal case, and if i were the judge, i would have to recuse myself. that is because for the past 20 years, i watch the liberal media

in america scorch the fox news channel and the people who work here, including me. the attacks are personal, relentless, and often dishonest. just last week come after alan colmes passed to my far left smear web site vilified hia calculated pond for this network. does it get any worse than that? no, it does not. there is no question that if the national media does not like your politics, it will try to hurt you. even if you are deceased. anyone denying that is a deceiver. of course, the trump administration is well aware of this. it knows the media is desperately trying to link the trump campaign to russia and will use anonymous sources to drive that narrative in the hope the election will be perceived as invalid. by the way, we do not, do not use anonymous sources here. i have been told plenty bad stuff about hillary clinton and donald trump. but without attribution, it is not going to be reported. the president also understands that certain news organizations despise him to the point that

employees actually fear for their jobs if they say positive things about him. many left-wing editors and executives believe mr. trump's positions on illegal immigration, muslim terrorism, abortion, crime, just about every other issue, to find the president a dangerous man. who must be destroyed. for anyone supporting him, cannot be tolerated. there will be no detente. the gulf is too wide. it will be one nasty media competition after another until the president leaves office. now, it is difficult to see how this awful situation benefits anyone. the country is not helped by all the acrimony. "talking points" believes the president has a right to defend himself, but should do so using facts. if a report is wrong, fake news, have sean spicer reputed in detail. if access is denied to surgeon press organizations, again, specifically spell out why. if you don't, you come off as petulant.

facts will always win the debate. always. as we proven this program every night. as for the correspondents dinner, the president is wise for not going. like him or not, he is not big on hypocrisy. yakking it up with an industry that obviously wants to hurt him would be bizarre. so, son of vice president and ended nice donation to the dinner scholarship fund that helps students. the cold fact is, the presidential election of 2016 defined the free press in america. he is actively, actively left-wing, not objective. now, things have become so much worse than just ideology. now, it is war. that is the memo. let's have some reaction. with this in new york city, joe concha, merrill brown. where am i going wrong here, professor brown? because you were going wrong because you are a lengthy meeting into one little ball. it is many things. the media is a national review, the weekly standard, boston

media, cbs, msnbc. they are divergent points of view on each one of those publications, and they cover the president of the administration differently. >> bill: there is a diversion point of view on msnbc. >> differed from the point of view on this network. >> bill: for sure. if you add up all that different news organizations on a national basis, what percentage of people working for the news organizations would you consider liberal? >> an overwhelming percentage. >> bill: you are not honest man. overwhelming. when you have overwhelmingly won ideology, then, you have a president who is unacceptable to them come up with that word be accurate? donald trump is unacceptable to "the new york times, the "l.a. times," "washington post," because he is not, he does not have the gravitas for the job. >> used the word war before. i think that is appropriate. sometimes, war is fought it differently. open bias come out of eczema that you have pointed out.

also, the vice of omission. what i see is a media that reflects towards a negative of donald trump. let me give you a big example. nbc news, "wall street journal" poll talked about approval disapproval for the president. a44 approve, 48 disapprove. that dominated the headlines. they were questions within there, bill, that were not reported almost in any fashion, that were very important, compelling, very positive. first, right track, wrong track. 40% of americans believe that we are on the right track. you know the number was in july? 18%. it more than doubled. not reported anywhere. how was the economy doing? better or worse under president trump? 41% say it will get better. only 21% say worse. that is how people vote. was that part of the poll reporter? no was not. the bias of omission is the most dangerous kind of bias you can have. i see a lot of reporters engaging in. not focusing on the positive. >> bill, it is an unusual

presidency. we can agree on that. trump is an unusual president. he is not released his tax returns, all of us president serves in recent times have. that is likely to create a level of tension between press and president that you and i can agree is legitimate. >> bill: no, i am not so upset -- i mean, i wish he would, because that is always better to have a full view of the leader. but that is not a major issue for me, releasing tax returns. he is a businessman. you assume he is taking a lot of deductions and a lot of things like that, depreciations, which will not be reported accurately by the press. they won't. he knows it. let me throw this out to you. fox news poll out today, just out, 55% of the american people with no confidence in the media. professor. 55%. why do you think that is? >> it is because there has been a history of an adequate coverage the media of lots of things, right and left. >> bill: you don't think it is a trump thing?

>> i think it is in part a trump thing. the midi has been hard on trump. the 40% of the country that support them don't like that. >> bill: you think the media was hard on president obama? >> they were not as hard as they were on president trump. >> bill: right there, you have a rigged system. it is rigged. trouble like that word. it is rigged. but it is rigged. but it shouldn't be. because it is too important. you say it is a war, and i tell my "talking points" agrees with you, i don't, "talking points" does. >> of course. >> bill: people don't understand, you can use "talking points" as a device, it is a literary device. anyway, let's get back to you. i don't see the war ending. i just can't see it. the press is hardened its left-wing viewpoint. it has hardened it. trump is never going to give into them, ever. speak of the war began under president obama, i would argue. james rison, who writes for "the new york times," not exactly a bastion of conservative sentiment. he said that president obama and

his administration was the most anti-since nixon. they openly defied his justice department on reporters, including james rosen. from this network. they secretly seized phone records from "the associated press," two months worse. there wasn't this outrage, this boycotting of the white house correspondents dinner. they rejected more requests, freedom of information request and any administration in history. president obama --dash go >> bill: he did it quietly. >> that's the thing. those are oppressions actions. you didn't hear a peep about it under obama, certainly, people weren't boycotting the white house correspondents dinner. >> bill: professor, the last word. >> excluding people from white house briefings is not going to do anybody any good. you know that the press is likely going to win that one, inevitably. excluding the press from access the documents are tax returns, that is also not anybody's interest. transparency, i think emma will get us past this.

the war might at least quiet down. >> bill: number one, he is never going to release his tax returns. number two, it is going to get worse. >> the biggest story of the next four years, trump versus media, i guarantee you. >> bill: particularly, if president trump is successful. the more he is successful, the more the hatred will rise. >> this is not about policy, bill. it's about a lot of other things. >> bill: i agree with that. personality, power, style. to speak of that hatred has a boomerang effect. >> bill: absolutely. >> this press would much rather be defending defense spending down these issues. >> bill: they would much rather impeach him and get him out there. gentlemen, thank you. next on the rundown, more vandalism at jewish cemeteries. his hatred on the rise in the usa? charles krauthammer has embossed. later, some protesters running wild. are they being directed by a far left group called indivisible? those reports after these messages. t of a pizza.

um. something wrong? so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? you want the whole thing? yes, yes! live whole. not part. aleve. we ship everything you atcan imagine.n, and everything we ship has something in common. whether it's expedited overnight... ...or shipped around the globe, ...it's handled by od employees who know that delivering freight... ...means delivering promises. od. helping the world keep promises.

>> bill: in the "impact segment" tonight, over the week reagan of philadelphia, another jewish cemetery was vandalized. as many as 100 headstones were knocked over and desecrated. a number of jewish community centers have received bomb threats, saying, he does on the rise. you think it is on the rise? >> the only way to know that would become an retrospect, from say, a year or two. we have often had spasms of incidents, often times, much them being copycat, a lot of these today, a couple of jewish community centers, a couple of schools were shot down or evacuated because of bomb threats. but i think that the real story is that they are highlighting, or at least, we are seeing are highlighted in the press,

anti-jewish incidents. now, why is that? the story for the last 15 years, at least the one presented by the press, has been, islamophobia. all the incidents targeting muslims. of course, trying to portray americans as reacting to islamic terrorism in a beastly way. but during those 15 years, certainly, for the last five or so, the number of anti-jewish incidents has been far greater and almost totally underreported. there are about four times as many anti-semitic incidents over most of these years. in the last year, there was a slight changing of that ratio to about still more than 2:1. the hypothesis i would propose to you is, the story line during the bush years and to a lesser extent, the obama years, had to

be the beastly nest of americans toward the muslims. of course, now, reinforced with the trump actions. but now, we get this attention to these anti-semitic incidents. if true, there seems to be somewhat of an increase. again, it is only a couple of months. we don't know if it is going to last. i think the press, or at least, the implication is, there is of course, somehow, connected to the trump ascendancy. he is encouraging it, subliminal ways. he hasn't been strong enough and denouncing it, et cetera. so, i am not yet impressed that there has been a great rise of anti-semitism in the country. it could be true but i am not sure. >> bill: i don't know what would drive that. there isn't a driver apparent. i do believe it is copycat stuff, some not see this, they do this, this usually subsides. >> let me say one thing.

>> bill: go ahead. >> it is real in the lives of the people who work in the communities, who work in the schools, the parents of the kid kids. >> bill: nobody want to be terrorized by bomb threats or have their cemeteries desecrated. it is outrage. attorney general sessions at that today. he said it is not going to be tolerated, let's hope that the federal government is on edge. and these people are prosecuted. >> what i want to caution against is the instinct among many to link this with trump. we don't know if it is a real increase yet. we will see. that is number one. and number two, show me the connection. >> bill: all right, but they don't care about showing you anything. if they can link it to trump, they will link it to trump. that is the age we live in. >> if there is an earthquake. >> bill: look, we just did that with the press, we know the press hates him. i don't think that trump is going to pull back from the press. i think he is going to continue

to confront them and the war isg to go on. hey, charles, i was good to have you on. directly ahead, protesters disrupting political meetings. what should we think about these people? later, one hollywood actor calling his peers out on a refugee issue. the factor is coming right back. ♪ means you can take a universe of data - in your case literally - and turn it into medical discoveries, diagnostic breakthroughs... ...proof that black holes collapse into one singularity. i don't know what that is. but yes. innovation runs on supercomputers... ...and supercomputers run on intel. you are super smart. and super busy. ♪ ooh! ufo! false alarm, eyelash!

and homeless, if it was not for aca. [cheers and applause] >> bill: homeless. now, some believe many of those protests are organized, a group called indus a visible, actually has an online guide, telling people how to disrupt meetings. indivisible run by far left people, it is impossible to know how extensive their influence is. joining us from washington, gillian turner, here in new york city, abby huntsman. they debated this issue last week on outnumbered. i would like to continue that discussion tonight. how do you see this? your father is a politician, right? >> he is. >> bill: you host a little meeting, come on and come i want to hear you, i want to get back and forth, then, people are screaming and jumping up and down. >> he would love this. he thinks this is what a democracy is all about. >> bill: robust yelling? >> he would still show up.

he would say, if you don't, it is weak. you got to do your job, you got to talk about issues you are passionate about. these have gotten out of hand. the problems i have with these protest, bill, you don't know what their agenda is. what is their platform? you compared to the tea party movement or the wall street movement. >> bill: it is hard to say. look, gillian, you are sympathetic to the protesters on "outnumbered." if you are a politician and you are in there, and you've got 40 or 50 people, you can't have chaos break out and get anywhere. you can't have yelling and screaming and jumping up and down and throwing chairs. that is what this crew, indivisible, recommends. they go and, scatter all over the auditorium, start to yell and scream. surely, that is not democracy. is it? >> it is absolutely democracy. whether these people are being well behaved and something else that we could debate. >> bill: how was, gillian?

how is screaming and making it impossible to get a dialogue on both sides so politician can give information and answers, how was that democracy? >> the whole purpose of holding a town hall in the first place is not about highlighting members of congress and how wonderful and fabulous are. right? the whole purposes so that citizens can air their grievances and their concerns. i agree with you, people shouldn't act like hooligans. if they are, i still think of the representatives have an obligation to show up and be there. >> bill: and do what? get yelled at? >> look, i don't agree with screaming and rioting and throwing things. >> bill: gillian, you are a politician, then, you have a town hall meeting, people, and they purposely disrupt it so that you cannot have a civil dialogue. you cannot give information. what you do with those people? >> they were still come at some of, i was looking at the video of the jason chaffetz town hall, as far as i can tell, kind of kd some stuff off.

they were definitely room and there over the course of an hour and a half for civil exchanges, as well. i mean, sometimes, the people flared up and they were agitated. other times, people who appear to be kind of normal, respectful citizens would interject with questions. that is the part that i want to protect. i am not trying to protect the bad guys. >> bill: you didn't give an answer. what you would do with the disruptors. what would you do? >> that is a separate issue. >> bill: separate bathrooms? >> you got to have separate channels and work out your issues with them. don't deny private citizens. >> bill: i have big giant guys and they take them. what do you do? >> what would you do if people tried to stop you from doing your job every day, from sticking to the american people? would you say, i'm not going to do the show? what would you do? >> bill: we have fox security here. if someone tries to intrude --dash go >> they have security there, as well. >> bill: that is what i mean. if you are there, and you are a sitting senator or a

congressperson, and somebody won't give up the mic into screaming obscenities or something like that, do you have them removed? i do. do you? >> i spent a lot of time living in beijing, china. i have seen protest at crackdown within 2 minutes. i remember those experiences and thinking, i will never, ever -- >> bill: that is not the same thing. >> it is not the same thing but it reminds me how lucky we are to live in a country where we are allowed to protest. >> bill: would you remove them or not? >> the protesters? >> bill: if they were totally out of hand and did not sit down when they were asked to, screamed and yelled in a chart of the whole proceedings. remove or not? >> i think it is a gray line. >> bill: so, gillian funds to work it out with them and take them out for a little latte. then, you, you have a little gray paint, paint that little line? wishy-washy. you can't have it. >> i think mike gets out of hand, it is obviously, -- >> bill: if they are screaming at you and they won't stop --

however, not all actors are liberals. here's what robert dobbie recently told neil cavuto. >> my hollywood colleagues, he wrote a piece on it the other day, i would tell them to to lighten up right now. i want to have them invite all the immigrants, all the refugees, although my grades, all the illegal criminals, i think we should open up the rules to the academy, be a good idea, forget the rules. forget the rules for the studio, let's open the gates in bel air, let people camp out. i think it is time that we show our hearts in good faith. why have any boundaries at all? >> bill: mr. davi being facetious. joining us from boston, mary anne marsh, from washington, katie pavlich. this is more of a philosophy thing, katie. all right, if you are going to advocate for open borders, as many, many left-wingers are doing, you got to put them up, when they come in, you gotta put

them up. and you say? >> i don't think you should literally have to put them up. but the issue here is that hollywood elites, hollywood liberals, like to preach for the rest of the country about what they should do, that they are intolerant, bigoted. yet, they don't seem to put any of the work into making sure that these people have housing, what the cost to the taxpayer eskimo with a national security risk is to bring in refugees from countries that don't have a central government. so, the philosophy of saying one thing and doing another, certainly applies to hollywood. it is not just on the refugee or immigration issue. gun control and all that, as well. >> bill: i know liberal hollywood actors who give a lot of money to charities that help migrants and help certain people, that they support. so, i don't think it is fair on a condemnation level. but do you take it a step further, mary anne, if you are saying, okay, i want open borders, which is really the code that most of this group was in, border enforcement, don't bother them when they are here

unless they are heinous people. let them do what they want. do you have an obligation, then, to do more than just write a check to a charity? >> it is always better to walk the talk, to katie's point. it is always better to help causes public or privately. it helps their credibility. what do you have seen across the board today, whether it is hollywood activists and actors, institutions, establishments, others, people don't follow their lead anymore. they don't have the influence on the public discourse the way they used to. on the other hand, there is the punishment anymore, there is one set of rules for you and another set of rules for anyone else, even when you take a stand on something. i think that is a big thing. >> bill: do you feel it is hypocritical for somebody like barbra streisand, who is a vowed liberal woman, to have the biggest security in the world, okay, you can't get close to her, all right, you got guys, she's got to machine guns, and tanks, all right, then, she's

like, "don't bother them, let them all in," is that hypocritical? >> it is. but she is not a public figure in the sense that -- >> bill: i'm not trying to make an excuse. i'm sorry i singled her out. i think everybody knows, you go to her web site. >> i understand what you are saying. of course it is. >> bill: there are neighborhoods in this country that have been flooded with people who shouldn't be in the country, long island, where i live. the celebratory engaging recorder will havoc on people who have no power at all. they say, how are these people here, doing these terrible things. yet, you have these rich people in bel air that mr. davi pointed out, "hey, don't come up my driveway, i got 18 dogs." go ahead. >> bill, that is the entire point. it is one thing to give actors who have a lot of money that give checks to charities that help certain organizations. this doesn't include the big picture about the fact that illegal immigration hurts the

middle class and the poor americans in this country. unchecked immigration and unchecked immigration from countries that don't have central governments with terrorism running rampant hurts this country. so, hollywood elites, play around all day and their gated communities with their walls, the 24-hour security with their armed guards, while the rest of us they preach to you about certain things that we should be doing, we are bigoted and intolerant if we do not allow these people and while they have the luxury and they can afford to keep themselves away from all of that. >> bill: we must all be inclusive. >> except for them. >> >> bill: all right, ladies. i'm going to go back to my safe space while we go to commercialn director. i love the story. this is in a iranian guy. watters at the big race. we will be right back. ♪

citizens of my countries, who are behind the mullahs, creating havoc and death and destruction. come on, it is ridiculous. it would be like mussolini and the '30 scum, the italians goin- it is crazy. he doesn't seem to know that this protest reflects poorly on him because of where he lives. >> well, i think that is true. the other thing, i have read some reviews of his movie, which i haven't seen, although, i have read about it and i saw the trailer, it looks like a pretty good movie, actually. but it's not a political movie. while some critics have a strange to find some element of protest against the system of government and the government and around in it, i can't see, from what i can tell, that has any of that. that is not where he because of his films, either. it's policies, its behavior, with his words, he doesn't protest it with his art, either. >> bill: maybe he wants to take a look at his own neighborhood before he starts to
